Torque by ford standards
 

why doesnt ford equip the PSD with the max torque allowed, you see all these after market companies cashing in. Wouldnt you think ford would offer the truck of the line with the options in the purchase.Or is it ford tried it and the engine or tranny couldnt handle the higher HP and Torque.

It's just a matter of design specs such that their warranty cost would not break the bank.... and a safety cushion so everything was in spec....

And maybe to leave a little "growing" room... maybe ? :)

Im positive Ford has the capability to do this. They do not, however, because this would "let the cat out of the bag" persay; they would not have any extra legroom to use in advertising and such as the years go on. All three of the "Big Three" are in horsepower wars. They will raise their power increments step by step in order to stay at the top of the market. Practically every year, one of the companies will bump up the power a little, and the following year, another will to keep up. If they just used it all at one time, that would not be wise for THIER pockets. At least not in the long run.

Pentium does the same things with thier processors. Im sure they have the technology to develop PC's that would exceed the power needed by just about ANY consumer, be it residential, commerical, or industrial, in a package the size of your thumbnail. However, just like Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, and all the other car companies, they keep it coming one step at a time to keep people frequently updating and filling the corporation's pockets at the same time

Aggrevating for us, wise marketing for them. :rolleyes:
